1. United States Of Captain America

Black Knight: Curse Of The Ebony Blade
Marvel Comics

In United States of Captain America, Cap’s shield has been stolen so Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson have to track it down. It’s a dangerous mission and they need all the help they can get.

As their road trip to hunt down the shield takes them around America, they meet a network of everyday people who have taken on the mantle of Captain America to protect their communities. Upon meeting these people, they learn that the symbolism of Captain America is more important than they ever realised.

The local Caps include Aaron Fischer, Nichelle Wright, Joe Gomez, Ari Agbayani, and Jeremy Merrick, all of whom have different reasons for becoming their own version of Captain America.

It’s a lovely little series with a simple message: even normal people can be extraordinary. Each character has their own quirks and their own reasons for taking on the mantle to protect people and it’s brilliant to see such a diverse team accepted by those who officially use the title and all teaming up to defeat evil.
